DeathLace Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Boot disk and startup disks aren't they? And they always work, I've never had a problem once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aco Veteran Posted July 4, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 4, 2002 That is just a normal Windows 98 Startup Disk, barring these files: aspicd.sys - you can download it here mode.com uininstal.exe Download startup disks from www.bootdisk.com :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgEnTsMiTh Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 If you want to do a clean install of Win 98 simply use a Win 98 Start up disc. Boot off the flopy. at the line A: type in C: now that your at the C prompt tyoe in format c: /s that will erase the Hard drive. then reboot, choose start up with cd rom support then use the drive letter for the cd rom, should be E: then type setup and there you go install Win 98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 if you have a real 98 cd. it is a bootable cd. you dont need a startup disk or boot disk. the cd is the boot disk. chenge the boot order in you bios to boot first to the cd rom drive and thats it. you can fdisk and format right from the cd itself.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Blue01 Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 What's the difference between a boot disk and start up disk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikeane Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Once you format your harddrive (I believe fdisk on your Win98 cd will do this, or the above option) then just stick in the Win98 cd and follow onscreen instructions. Just be sure that you got all you want to keep stored somewhere else other than your harddrive!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
